João Carlos Pinto is a 25-year-old artist from Braga, Portugal. He holds a bachelor's degree in Sound and Image from ESAD.CR - Escola Superior de Artes e Design das Caldas da Rainha, where he developed skills in photography, sound, and film production. Recently, he specialized in artistic photography, earning a Master’s in Photography and New Audiovisual Formats at ESCAC - Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya.
His work ‘Dissociação’ was selected for the Mostra Nacional Jovens Criadores 2023, an initiative by the Portuguese Institute of Sports and Youth. His short film, 'Ostra Negra', received accolades at multiple film festivals, including the Honorable Mention for Best Documentary Short Film at the 10th Sophia Student Awards in 2024, a distinguished recognition by the Portuguese Academy of Cinema.
Through his art, João seeks to provoke reflection by delving into themes of perception, reality, and the essence of human existence.
